It's Illegal to Play Music in Provo

Last night was the official Wicked Awesome Bom Dot Shiz Party Of The Century here at Park Plaza. It was an exciting fusion of music, food, swimming, dancing, movies... you name it. Take all that and mix it in with all of Provo's defining virtues, such as overly single young adults, socially inept recluses that call the cops because they're lame, the cops themselves, and you have a classic BYU pool party.

Here are some of the best shots from the evening.
A lively game of pool volleyball just getting started.


A picture of me with the cop that came and made us turn off the music because some loser called and complained about it.... at 9:40pm.


Probably the apartment of someone bored and uptight enough to call the police on us... for playing music... on a Saturday night...

A few other shots of some of the great people that live here.











All in all it ended way too early, but was still a lot of fun. I just always have to stop and wonder about people that spend their lives being super uptight and annoying. I mean, when I'm sitting at home all alone reading a book or something, and I can hear some semblance of other life on this planet, I usually just ignore it. If it's really loud, I just deal with it. We're all human. And some of us actually like to have fun.

What on earth makes people pick up the phone and dial 911 because they can hear some music? Nevermind the fact that he or she is only one person, but insists on having everything his or her way, and ruining a fun party for 100 other people. It's such a sad existence. Seriously. It's a college town. And a Saturday night. At 9:40pm! If you don't like loud parties, you should go live elsewhere.

My favortie part was when the cop started making fun of the person that called him about it. He's like "Yeah. Some guy is all alone on a Saturday night because he couldn't get a date... and he doesn't want anyone else to have fun either..."

And then he made a funny face in my picture.
